Zhu Yihai moved to Jinan and declared that he would personally conquer Beijing and attack Beijing directly.
However, after he arrived in Jinan, he did not go further north, but headed southwest. The emperor passed through Mount Tai, passed Tai'an Prefecture, and then headed to his hometown of Yanzhou.
Jinan-Tai'an-Yanzhou is an important road in Shandong, a convenient shortcut connecting the two places. Although it has to pass through the Taishan Valley Tunnel, it is an important transportation artery for Qilu. Yanzhou, as one of the nine ancient states, has always been the throat of Qilu.
In the Ming Dynasty, there were three main post roads in Shandong, from Dezhou to Xuzhou, all of which were plains. The second one was from Dezhou Economic South, from Changqing to Yanzhou, and the third one was from Qingzhou to Dengzhou in Jinan.
Although Jinan to Tai'an is an important road, there is no post station. In ancient times, the post route was actually equivalent to a high-speed line or a national highway, and was very important for transportation, information transmission, and cargo transportation.
Zhu Yihai began to rebuild the post roads last year, separating the post houses and delivery shops. He started rebuilding from Fengtian Tokyo. The first post road was from Dengzhou to Laizhou, then Qingdao, Haizhou, Huai'an, Yangzhou, and Nanjing.
The second one is from Laizhou to Qingzhou, Jinan and then via Tai'an to Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Guide, Kaifeng, Luoyang and Shaanzhou.
When passing Mount Tai, Zhu Yihai made a special trip to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to Sheji. Emperors of the past dynasties who had made great merits were granted the title of Zen in Mount Tai.
But since Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty also shamelessly granted the title of Zen to Mount Tai, future generations of kings, even if they have achieved great results, are unwilling to grant the title again.
The person who was granted the title of Mount Tai in the past was Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han. What a figure he was. Even Emperor Gaozong and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty later represented the most glorious and grand period of the Tang Dynasty.
The purpose of conferring Zen on Mount Tai is to communicate with heaven and earth and report merits to heaven. This ritual existed even before Qin Shihuang.
After Duke Huan of Liu became hegemonic, he planned to grant Zen status. Guan Zhong told him that there had been seventy-two families of Liangfu who had granted Zen status in Mount Tai, and Yiwu had also granted Zen status to twelve families.
Among them, such as Wu Huaishi granted Mount Tai, Zen Yunyun, Shennong granted Mount Tai, Chan Yunyun, Emperor Yan granted Mount Tai, Zen Yunyun, Huangdi granted Mount Tai, Zen Pavilion.
Zhuanxu, Emperor Ku, Yao, Shun, Yu, King Zhou Cheng, etc. were all ordered to be granted Zen status. Therefore, before Emperor Qin and Han Dynasty, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were granted Zen status. After Duke Huan of Qi became hegemonic, he also wanted to be granted Zen status, but Guan Zhong dissuaded him several times. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty
Li Shimin also wanted to be granted Zen status, but was dissuaded several times by Wei Zheng and others.
Shen Nong tasted a hundred herbs, Dayu controlled the floods, Qin Shihuang unified the world, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty drove the Huns from the north. They are all famous figures. They have no achievements. How dare you bother God?
What kind of merit do you repay to others? Song Zhenzong concluded the Chanyuan Alliance with the Liao people and paid tribute to others, but he still had the nerve to go to Mount Tai to grant Zen status. With his letter, other emperors would no longer be ashamed to grant Zen status.
Zhu Yihai passed by Mount Tai, and Qian Qianyi actually suggested that the emperor enshrine Mount Tai. He took a rainbow ticket at Zhu Yihai.
Zhu Yihai gained some insight into this guy's shamelessness and flatly refused. If the world is restored to unity in the future, it will even be possible to expand overseas, drive Tsarist Russia out of Siberia, surrender Mongolia, and even allow the Southeast Asian lands to become vassals and pay tribute again, etc.
Zhu Yihai may also have mentioned that he would go to Mount Tai to become a Buddhist monk and repay his merits to heaven.
What kind of merit should I apply for now? Just stop by and offer sacrifices. In China, being granted Zen status is similar to a pilgrimage, and it is the highest level. Most people are not qualified to do so.
From the Hongwu Dynasty to the Wanli Dynasty, twenty-eight sacrificial activities were held in Mount Tai during the Ming Dynasty, excluding those held by local officials.
In the Ming Dynasty, when worshiping Mount Tai, the emperor did not come in person, but only sent ministers there. The number of sacrifices increased and became very frequent, which actually reduced the standard and influence of the sacrifices.
Zhu Yihai did not hold any grand ceremony. He climbed the mountain himself and carried a bag of soil to the top of Mount Tai. He gathered the soil to build a round platform to increase the height of Mount Tai. He also wrote a memorial to tell God that the world was in turmoil and that he would stand to restore peace to the world.
, revitalize Chinese civilization, make people live happily and live in peace, etc.
After descending from the mountain, he accumulated earth on the hill at the foot of Mount Tai and built a square altar to worship the earth god and increase the thickness of the earth in order to repay his blessings and kindness.
Although the emperor did not hold any grand ceremony, many people from Tai'an Prefecture and Jinan Prefecture came after hearing the news. On that day, hundreds of thousands of people gathered at the foot of Mount Tai.
They paid homage to the emperor, and also offered sacrifices to Mount Tai to pray for blessings, celebrate the harvest, pray for peace, and some even came to ask for children.
This sacrificial activity was very down-to-earth. Zhu Yihai, who was just passing by, had to stop when he saw how enthusiastic the people were.
I met with representatives from all walks of life in the local area, some officials, school students, and even some business representatives. I also met with some elderly people and some family members of the imperial camp martyrs from Tai'an Prefecture.
The people were so enthusiastic that even if they were not qualified to see the emperor, they still wanted to see the sky from a distance. In this bustle, there were actually people who came to file lawsuits against the emperor, which caught the entourage and local officials off guard. Some even wanted to conceal or even
Zhu Yihai was not surprised that he was arrested.
Throughout the past dynasties, and even in later generations, this kind of thing will never be eradicated. It is not scary if something happens, but what is scary is this kind of minimizing the big and minimizing the small, and concealing it.
If there are problems, solve them, or even conduct a thorough investigation based on the problems that arise, sum up lessons and experiences, and prevent problems from happening.
But some officials are thinking about how to hide it, or even solve the problem of the person who raised the issue. The overall atmosphere of official governance in the Shaotian Dynasty is getting better and better, but there are still a large number of officials who can't stand it and still have the old thinking.
Zhu Yihai specially asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Admonition Yuan, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment to jointly accept the complaints from the people. He specially set up several reception desks to receive reports and reports from the people. He also specially asked Dongchang and Jinyiwei to wait nearby to publicize.
Let everyone report anything directly.
After receiving these reports and appeals, all localities must not hide or delay them. They must summarize them in the office as soon as possible. The General Affairs Department is responsible for recording and backing up, and then transfers them to the Court of Justice and other judicial departments for separate processing.
The investigation will be investigated, and the local authorities will cooperate fully. Zhu Yihai also requires that each case should not only be handled, but also quickly, and it should be investigated deeply.
Now that we have encountered it, we must not only handle it, but also make it a model, and even create a deterrent effect. Although it will be ugly to pick out the pustule when it is uncovered, but when it comes to picking, even if it is exposed, it will affect some official prestige.
But if done well, it can win the hearts and minds of the people.
As a special matter under the supervision of the emperor, we must be quick and strict to form a typical case. Whether it is land occupation, local corruption or ordinary civil litigation, the local government cannot handle it, and even shields and colludes, and finally the people are forced to sue.
If you are imperial, you will naturally be dealt with severely.
As for someone who takes the opportunity to make false accusations by filing a petition for impeachment, the same should be dealt with, and the punishment will be severe.
Zhu Yihai specially asked people like Hong Chengchou, Qian Qianyi, Niu Jinxing, and Liu Zongzhou to be responsible for handling matters. For example, Hong Chengchou has been selfless in the past two years and has dealt with one problematic official after another. Niu Jinxing, who was once the prime minister of Li Zicheng, was even more rude. Anyway, they all
Even if he is an official with stains and cannot become a famous official, he might as well just obey the emperor's arrangements and concentrate on being a criticizing official and a cruel official.
"The vast majority of the complaints are related to the occupation of land and industry, and the vast majority of them involve the Confucius family in Qufu. The rest are mostly cases of judicial injustice, corruption and bribery by officials, and then bending the law for personal gain.
There are also some powerful people who collude with the government to bully others, dominate the market, and even bully men and women. There are also those who use usury to force debts, and those who design deception and plunder," Zhu Yihai said bluntly to Hong Chengchou,
"These situations definitely exist, and I would like to emphasize again that we must deal with them quickly and strictly, and we must dig deeper. Those who dare to act recklessly in the local area must have powerful forces behind them to protect them. Therefore, not only must the suspects involved in the case be dealt with, but also the suspects involved in the case must be dealt with."
We need to dig out the people behind them. Deal with special cases and don't delay. If these cases of complaint are just ordinary disputes and conflicts, deal with them as soon as possible and deal with them in accordance with the law. If they involve officials who are corrupt and derelict in their duties, as well as local tyrants,
Evil gentry and ruffians must be severely punished for their evil deeds. These people must not only be dismissed from their posts, but also expelled from their country of residence. In serious cases, their homes may be confiscated, and they may even be exiled to Taiwan. Those bullies and ruffians who bully others in the local area must be punished with special measures and be directly exiled.
Taiwan. By the way, check the local government offices. When mice are running around in the house, the cats in the house must not catch mice. Give each admonishment officer in the admonishment court and each censor in the capital procuratorate some cases and let them know.
They are responsible for reviewing and handling, and by the way, they also check their ability to do things. Officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are also responsible for some cases." These problems faced by Tai'an Prefecture now actually exist everywhere, but since they have been encountered, they can be ignored.
It must be dealt with, and it must be dealt with in a high-profile manner. If the emperor turns a blind eye, the system will collapse.
"Let several major newspapers have special pages to expose and display these issues in depth, so that everyone will know. Especially when exposing in depth, the results of the disposal must be announced quickly. Do you understand?" Pretending not to know will not work, just expose.
No, it must be dealt with in a complete set, and it must be done quickly, accurately and ruthlessly.
As long as there are indeed problems after investigation, those who can be exiled or not will be exiled, and those who can be killed or not will have their homes confiscated and exiled.
"There is another principle you must remember."
"Even if the crime committed in a single case is not serious and the punishment is not high, as long as it is committed twice, the crime will be increased by one level. If the same thing is committed three times, it will be classified as a felony." To put it simply, there was a local gangster who
Colluding with officials in the yamen, usually bullying men and women to lend money at usury, and even bullying market tyrants to collect protection fees, etc. If it was just one time, then the crime might not be high.
For example, the laws of the Ming Dynasty have clear regulations on loan sharking. For those who lend money, debts and pawn property privately, the monthly interest cannot exceed three-thirds. Although there are many years and months, it is only one profit for each dollar. Violators will be punished with forty punishments.
If you plan to use the stolen goods for profit, if you are serious, you will be punished by taking the stolen goods, and you will be punished with a hundred sticks.
It can be seen from this regulation that the definition of loan sharking is that the monthly interest is more than three thirds, and the interest is compounded, and the interest exceeds the principal, etc.
But if the punishment is not strict, the lighter punishment will be forty sticks, and the excessive bribes will be stolen. The severe punishment will only be punished by taking the stolen goods, and a hundred beatings will be made.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were many murder cases due to loan sharking. Among them, the proportion of moneylenders being killed was actually very high. It was because they were pressed too hard and so they tried their best.
The more famine and turbulent years there are, the more moneylenders will die. Anyway, there is no hope at all, the world is in chaos, and you are still desperate, then don't live anymore, murderous creditors will run away.
In such troubled times, creditors lend money and use more methods to force debts, and many even directly force wives and daughters to be sold.
Now Zhu Yihai demands that the definition of usury remain unchanged, but the penalties be increased. Those who dare to lend usury will not only have the remaining interest confiscated, but also have all principal and interest confiscated, and the excess interest will be returned to the borrower.
Those who lend money will also be punished with three to ten times the penalty. If there is an act of extorting debt, the penalty will be increased. If the person uses violence to extort debt, the penalty will be increased depending on the circumstances. For example, if someone beats someone, he will be charged with the injury of the person.
Crimes such as forcing a good girl into prostitution, taking away a person's wife and daughters, etc., will all be punished separately.
And if it is a single act, it is okay. If there is a second or third time of repeated crime, the crime will be increased by one degree, or even a direct felony.
Zhu Yihai directly instructed that in the cases currently being sued, the principal and interest of the loan sharks will be directly confiscated, and the excess of three-thirds of the interest will be returned to the borrower. The lender will also be fined three to ten times, and will be caned. According to
If the loan amount exceeds one hundred taels, the person will be directly exiled to Taiwan to undergo labor reform.
If the amount exceeds 1,000 taels, the family will be confiscated directly, and the whole family will immigrate to Taiwan to reclaim wasteland. If the person commits serious harm to others, not only will the family be confiscated and exiled, but the family will also be sent directly to the Yunnan mines for copper mining and forced labor.
It must be a deterrent, and it must be a typical case. Not only the loan sharks must be dealt with, but also the officials who protect them must also be dealt with.
"Haven't we already dealt with a lot of the problems of the Kong family in Qufu before, and now there are still so many problems?" Zhu Yihai shook his head,
"Then we will continue to investigate and deal with it in depth, and we will deal with it as we see fit. Taiwan is currently in short supply of people who can cultivate wasteland and plant sugar cane."
"In order to clean up the local order, the most important thing is the government officials, and then the local powerful. Only after these two people are sorted out, the place will be peaceful. Those who should be exempted, those who should be exiled, and those who should be copied must be copied.
Thunder first, and then rain and dew, otherwise how can we clear the atmosphere?" Zhu Yihai met with local gentry, scholars and even representatives of the industrial and commercial people. He was especially kind to those talented gentry and hired them, and granted them official positions as candidates or Jinshi.
Errands.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The imperial camp was also specially asked to select some young, strong, loyal and good sons from good families wherever they passed along the way to enter the imperial camp or military academy. Although there were not many recruits, the emperor came all the way.
Gifts and recruitment along the way are also very good rewards.
But just a reward is not enough, thunder must be shown when it is time to show it.
"Your major judicial departments should study carefully and improve the laws and regulations and appropriately adjust the penalty standards for the situation of loan sharking. The related crimes that breed it should also be listed in detail." Hong Chengchou accepted the order and spent only one night.
In response to the emperor's request, several new crimes were added, such as various crimes of usury and forced debt, and the crime of forced transactions that forced borrowers to pay off debts with houses, fields, and property at low prices.
There is the crime of intentional injury of intentionally hurting the borrower and his or her relatives, the crime of illegal detention of illegally restricting the borrower's freedom, and the crime of intentional destruction of property of intentionally smashing the borrower's belongings.
The crime of destroying production and business operations by destroying crops, destroying production tools and equipment, etc. The crime of forcibly breaking into or refusing to leave a house that affects the borrower's normal life, etc.
In addition, according to some loan sharking gangs, a new crime of illegal mafia gang organization was established, organizing, leading, participating in illegal mafia gang organizations, using violence, threats or other means to organize illegal and criminal activities and dominate
On the one hand, illegal gang organizations that do evil, oppress, harm the people, and seriously disrupt the economy and social life order must be severely punished.
Organizations and leaders shall be sentenced to imprisonment for not less than ten years and shall be responsible for the criminal acts of all members. Other participants shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years.
The punishments of the Ming Dynasty actually followed the five-level punishment system of the Tang and Song Dynasties, that is, whipping, cane, punishment, exile, and death.
Exile means deprivation of freedom and forced labor, which is equivalent to prison labor reform. Exile means exile. There are different types of exile, such as exile to remote places, or exile in the army.
In the Tang Dynasty, the prison sentence was usually one to three years, with free labor and forced labor. Although there were three levels of exile, ranging from two thousand to three thousand miles, the third class all had one year of domestic service.
By the Ming Dynasty, exile was often replaced by forced labor, such as being sent to Fengyang for one year.
Zhu Yihai further set the punishments, which are still five levels of punishment: whipping, cane, imprisonment, exile, and death. Both imprisonment and exile have increased the penalty period, from one year to life. Among the two punishments of cane, only the cane is retained, and detention is added.
, the detention period ranges from half a month to one year.
Judgment means detention, while prison term means forced labor reform in farms and mines. As for exile, exile to the frontiers involves controlled labor reform first. After a certain period of labor reform, they will be settled on the spot, placed under residential surveillance, restricted from leaving the country, and their employment as officials will be cancelled.
, imperial examination, qualifications for military service.
Finally, a crime of illegal business was added. If anyone dares to lend usury, the penalty imposed by Shao Tianchao will be much higher.
Crimes of illegal business operations, crimes of illegal organizations, and various crimes that may be caused by debt extortion, start with a prison sentence, and there are also fines, and even confiscation of property, exile, and exile of the whole family. These severe penalties.
Although some ministers think this may be too harsh, Zhu Yihai still believes that although the law is the lowest moral standard, it cannot have no limit.
In fact, loan sharking is the root of many problems among the people. It is not only related to property disputes, but also triggers many criminal cases. It is more likely to become an important means for powerful tyrants to merge and oppress the people. uuReading.uukanshu. So it must be improved.
standards, increasing their crime costs.
"I am very satisfied with this explanation of the crime clause that increases loan sharking."
"You can discuss some additional explanations regarding the crime of land embezzlement. It must be more comprehensive. The court allows land sales, but the problem of illegal land occupation is still serious. The court must fill in the loopholes and intensify the crackdown."
"Especially by raising the standard of punishment so that it can have a deterrent effect!"
"I will stay in Tai'an for another three days. You should hurry up and try your best to solve all the people's problems before leaving." Zhu Yihai plans to organize a department in the future to comprehensively rewrite the Ming Dynasty Shaotian Law and rewrite the laws and regulations.
This time the emperor was going to Yanzhou via Tai'an to visit his hometown, and then he would patrol eastward to Xuzhou, Kaifeng, and Luoyang, and even go along the newly opened second post road to capture Nanyang after the Battle of Yingzhou.
, and even regained Hubei to provide support.
Zhu Yihai went to Luoyang, even going to Wu Sangui and Nikan.
"The battle at Yingzhou should have already begun." The emperor at the foot of Mount Tai did not have the slightest worry about the battle at Yingzhou, which was far away. This was a matter of course.
